Our mission is to give women & girls a new lease of life by raising their standards of living from adverse circumstances through education, adult literacy, health awareness & service delivery, vocational /Financial training & empowerment, mentorship & Psycho-social support.

The Tabitha Girls Club (TGC) aims to give girls in underserved communities an opportunity of sharing experiences, discussing issues peculiar to them & learning new ideas and skills, under one umbrella through mentorship. It is also geared towards the social, academic, emotional, mental, moral and physical development of girls thereby producing confident and stable girls ready to excel inspite of their challenging backgrounds.

Functional Literacy is a powerful tool for empowering rural women and girls which enhances their control over their incomes and living standards. Children whose mothers have had no education are more likely to be out of schools than those whose mothers have some sort of education. TCF therefore established Adult literacy Centres in our communities to give a “SECOND CHANCE” to rural women and girls who lost the opportunity to be educated due to early marriages, teenage pregnancies, poverty and civil disturbances.

Since the inception of TCF, several health awareness campaigns have been carried out sensitizing & creating health seeking behaviours amongst rural dwellers. Achieving the MDG goals on INFANT & MATERNAL MORTALITY REDUCTION has been the heartbeat of the foundation, we have put structures in place in our communities to ensure a zero tolerance to maternal & infant morbidity & mortality. We have established Primary Health Centres in hard to reach areas to “Help Mama Keep Baby.”

Celebration filled the air at Jikoko, a suburb of the FCT on Friday 07:07:17, when the Community Primary Health Centre, a Self Help Project embarked on to save lives was commissioned by the Charge D'affaires US Embassy, Mr David .J. Young. Tabitha Cumi Foundation through the US Ambassador's Pepfar Grant completed and equipped the project, which was handed over by the Charge D'affaires to the Bwari Area Council Chairman Hon Musa Dikko.

One of the visions of Tabitha Cumi Foundation was actualized on 12:07:17 when a Vocational Training Centre built by the foundation and supported by the GGP of Embassy of Japan was commissioned and handed over to the Agency of Mass Education by the Charge D'affaires Embassy Embassy of Japan , Mr Utsako. The Centre built in our pilot community Durumi is to provide functional literacy to our adult learners in Durumi, Jikoko and Mapa. With the help of artist partners, music fans, and fellow non-profit organization, Love hope Strength, Music for Relief responded to the devastating earthquakes in Nepal in April and May of this year.
